New Features
The new features include selectable detail levels and alphabetical sorting of bookmarks. Delicious also says that it has made strides in improving its speed and making the site more responsive. Based on our short tests here, we would definitely have to agree with that. Delicious has also worked an enhancing its search. Users can now search within their own tags, another user’s bookmarks, and, maybe most interestingly, within their own social network on Delicious. In our short tests of the new design so far, we have come away quite impressed. The new interface, which highlights the tags a lot more, feels a lot cleaner and snappier. It’s also now a lot easier to edit items you have already bookmarked. Delicious now also puts a lot more emphasis on the social aspects of its service. We especially noticed that it now prompts its users to fill out their profile information more persistently. Before, few users ever bothered to do so. While before, the focus was on subscriptions and ‘your network,’ the new interface emphasizes more of ‘friending’ paradigm.No Recommendations Yet
One area where Delicious can still improve is in giving its users recommendation based on their bookmarking behavior. Currently, Delicious neither recommends potentially interesting links, nor fellow users who bookmark similar items.Easier, Prettier, Faster
Overall, while some of its competitors soared past Delicious in the last few months in terms of features, this update puts Delicious at the top of the pack again. We have come away highly impressed with the new interface and while all the new and enhanced features are definitely a boon to the service, the real advantage of this new design is that it makes using a lot of the old features a lot easier, especially for novice users.Tags: fellow users, interface, new features, paradigm, search capabilities, search users, similar items, social aspects, social bookmarking service, strides, subscriptions, top of the pack, yahoo
